We tried 100+ AI tools for everyday use, and honestly, most weren’t worth it.
Here’s the reality—
Many free (and even paid) AI tools are just ChatGPT wrappers with little practical value or expensive enterprise solutions that use AI more as a buzzword.
Now that I’ve had time to evaluate them, I wanted to share a list of AI tools that I personally use regularly. All of these tools offer free versions, with premium options if you need extra features or higher usage. I’ve also noted whether each tool requires payment.
-
REWEB – Visual website builder for Next.js & Tailwind
(Free to use, with paid features)
Useful for creating landing pages or sign-up forms easily using a visual editor. You can convert it to code for more advanced builds if needed. -

SlidesAI – Create presentation slides
(Free, with optional paid version)

Let me know if you recommend any other free AI tools you use daily, and I’ll add them to the list. I’m also curious about requests for AI tools that don’t exist yet. This is just my opinion, and some free tools may be open-source, meaning you’ll need to host them yourself.
